**Thank you St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for providing this in exchange for an honest review**

I feel like this was a bait and switch. From the title and the book description one would think this would deal mostly with the Romanov sisters. That is not exactly the case. This is really more about the family as a whole, rather then the girls themselves. The material was very well researched and the writing is engaging enough, but this wasn't the book I feel I was promised. If you're just starting to gain interest in the late Romanovs, this would be a good book to start with.

My rating for the book as a whole: 4 Stars
My rating for the book that was described: 2 Stars

I don't think I'd be willing to pick up anything by this author again. I don't know that I'd trust the book described to be the actual book I'd received.
